How Raleigh Parks Makes a Difference in the Community

Raleigh Parks makes a difference in our community through Community Outreach and Enrichment Programs, Financial Assistance, and Health and Wellness. Our spaces serve as gathering places where people can meet, interact, and build community relationships. Parks also provide spaces for physical activities like walking, jogging, and playing. The parks offer a natural setting that can reduce stress and improve mental well-being.  In this episode, you will hear from Cultural Outreach and Enrichment Manager Tierney Sneeringer, Health and Wellness Program Director Ainsely Worrell, and Financial Assistance Program Administrator Debbie Huston.

Raleigh Parks is powered by the City of Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department, and is hosted by Cara McLeod.
